American attack on Iran’s atomic sites: Mystery deepens on uranium stockpile; Was it buried or transferred?

Satellite image, Israeli Intel suggests that Tehran transferred near-Hathiyar-grade fuel ahead of the bunker Buster attack by the US, the report of The New York Times.Iran may have transferred 400 kg rich uranium, which is sufficient to produce ten atomic bombs.The US and Israeli authorities killed their major nuclear sites by B-2 bombers quoted by NYT, before it happened a few days ago. Satellite photos taken before the strike showed trucks parked outside Iran’s heavy fortifications, while post-strike images showed that those vehicles were disappeared.Fuel, rich fuel up to 60 percent, was last seen by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors a week before the conflict began. “Iran has not created any secret that they have protected this material,” IAEA chief Rafael Grosie was said to be on CNN. Asked whether this means that uranium was transferred, he replied, “I do.”

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and completely” by the US forces after the US armies dropped the bunker-bombing bombs on the Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. Strike was part of a 37 -hour mission under the leadership of seven B -2 Spirit Bombers and was supported by Tomahawk cruise missiles.But within 24 hours, top officials dial to Trump’s claims. “We are going to work in the coming weeks to ensure that we do something with that fuel,” Vice President JD Vance said in this week of ABC. He confirmed that the missing uranium was not yet recovered “to make nine or 10 nuclear weapons”.

400 kg, or about 880 pounds, up to 60% of uranium

The satellite image released by Maxu Technologies showed 16 trucks parked outside the Fordo Promotion Site before the US strike. This feature is dug deep in a mountain and has long been considered immune for most missile attacks.Israeli officials believe that uranium was loaded on those trucks and went away before the bombing. “And there was growing evidence that Iranians had repeatedly linked to Trump’s hazards to take military action, removed 400 kg, or about 880 pounds, was enriched with 60% purity of uranium,” two intelligence sources told the NYT. The material was stored in an atomic complex near Isfahan, which was quite low to fit inside regular cars.The current place of fuel is unknown, and Tehran has not confirmed or denied reports.

No inspection during war

The United Nations Atomic Sentinel head Gosi said the fuel was last seen by IAAA teams before I started bombing Israel. Iranian officials later suspended all inspections during the war. The GRAC warned the United Nations Security Council that “the ongoing military growth delays this unavoidable function” and reduces the possibility of a diplomatic solution.

A rich uranium can still occur inside the destroyed facility

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Head President General Dan Kane confirmed “serious damage and destruction” at all three nuclear sites. Satellite photos show many violations in Mountain Sheltering Fordo due to bombs of 30,000 pounds.But analysts say that the major centrifuge, which enrich uranium, may still be inside. These machines are heavy, fixed and difficult to remove. An American official said that it would be “unrealistic” for Iran to destroy the entire system on time.In the old and more weak site, Natanz, the bombing allegedly disrupted electrical systems, which may have destroyed most of the centrifuge.

Shock to Iran’s atomic ambitions

Mick Mulroy, a former Pentagon officer and an CIA official, said: “With the type and volume used, it will probably set the Iranian nuclear weapon program back two to five years.”Nevertheless, intelligence suggests that Iran had already started building a deep underground replacement for Natanz.Despite long -term doubt, any fresh public evidence has emerged to prove that Iran is actively manufacturing nuclear weapons. Israel and America say Tehran resumed arms, but Iran denied it.
